Crackle Nail Polish shrinks as it dries, which gives it a shattered, aged look. While it shrinks, cracks appear and reveal the layer of regular nail polish underneath. If the cracked layer is a different color than the base layer, then the result is a two-toned pattern. There are ways to get different kinds of textures, and with nearly unlimited color and finish options, people can achieve lots of neat looks. DIRECTIONS Apply the first BASE COLOR coat of nail polish and be sure to let it dry completely before doing anything else. Putting crackle polish on top of wet nails causes the crackle to bond to the wet polish and crack it as well. Sometimes people have to put a few layers of the base coat on depending on the color. Typically, two layers are plenty, but be sure to give both layers plenty of time to dry. If it is a light color that requires more coats, consider getting one of the fast-drying polishes. When the base coat is completely dry, it is time to apply the crackle nail polish over the top of it. To get thinner cracked patterns, put on a thin coat of the crackle polish. Those who want big, dramatic cracks can apply a thicker layer. Crackle nail polish typically dries really fast, so be sure to apply it as fast as possible because there is not a lot of time to correct mistakes. Crackle nail polish has a flat finish when it dries. This is just because of the nature of the formula. Those who want a shine need to apply a clear coat over the nails to finish them off. Clear coats also help the polish last longer without chipping or flaking. Crackle nail polish is delicate and flakes easily, so the top coat is recommended.
